We have a private option here too which speeds up your treatment and makes it more comfortable, but for all of us those with congenital or preexisting conditions (like me and my son) we thank god for the NHS which treats us, no questions asked. We all complain about it regularly, and it can be very basic and bare bones and slow, but I wouldnt be without it and count myself SO fortunate to live in a country that allows for it.Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.com
